Does the status for one major update the same time? Everyone applies for the same major got accepted at the same time? Could someone help me with the question?

@incomingfrosh408618 Where in California are you from?

Has anyone heard back from the Art BFA program where you had to submit a portfolio? I submitted mine on 2/9 but the last day to submit is today. Does that mean ours will come later? I’m instate btw.

Bay Area

The roll out seems to be all over the place, at least for OOS @linyong.

@nafphoto Yep. My friend didn’t hear back for Art til Mid March. That is why they have that April 1st deadline :slight_smile: No need to worry today.

@winroo

@incomingfrosh408618 me too and same major but nothing has changed. Maybe rejected/waitlisted at this point?

@csm099 I am child development!

@linyong, it seems like the notices are coming out by colleges within the university. Here is a link that can help you figure out which college your major is in (if it’s not obvious):

https://admissions.calpoly.edu/prospective/majors.html

I do not know if all of the acceptances from one college are sent out simultaneously. People could be posting at odd times just because they are checking at odd times, or they could be coming out in various waves within a school.

Good luck.

Thank you guys!!

has anybody heard anything from school of ag, food and environmental? animal science in particular. it’s first alphabetically but looks like they’re going backwards.

@winroo What are your stats?

@incomingfrosh408618 CP GPA: 4.00
ACT: 32 (composite)
MCA: 4364 I think

@nafphoto Don’t except the art students to come out at the same. This seems to be their computer generated admits and my guess is Art where they look over portfolio’s will take longer.

I assume the reason you only see acceptances here is it’s entirely computer based and this is only their first phase. The post describing how to calculate the MCA describes claims it’s a two phase acceptance. My guess is this is the definate YES cut-off, just based on GPA, test scores and rigor. Once this is done. A few more scores such as the EC’s, ect… are added to mix up the scores and then things are run again.

@linyong My guess (based on what I’ve seen from past years threads) is the admin staff are running their computer program one major at a time. So you would see this one major at a time. First OOS yesterday, now In-State. And that this is just the obvious clear-cut acceptances. Once they are done with all the clear cut acceptances, more acceptances, waitlist and denials will start dribbling out.

Not yet. Animal science doesn’t seem to be out yet
